Two opinions I’m starting to form: 1. In the future most data (80%) will be stored in one or more decentralized protocols 2. Those protocols will not use the EVM in any way Bullish crypto, bearish ETH

It will be IPFS. CIDs provide all the verification blockchains need while providing the most amount of flexibility related to persistence, decentralization, speed, etc.

Probably not Idealistically it could be but the reality is most people use it through a service provider - like you guys! Someone forgets to pay a subscription and everything gets garbage collected Always found other approaches to permanent decentralized storage more appealing for this reason , especially when you can pay once forever Your way closer to this then I am, so curious how you see the general landscape here I clocked out on this topic like 2 years ago so maybe I'm dated

1/ Permanence is a meme. The vast majority of data should not exist for a long-time. Pruning state is necessary, deleting data is necessary. Filecoin and Arweave don't make fundamental sense. The idea of chopping up files into little bits and spreading them out across a global network is extremely inefficient. It causes significant issues. First, geography matters with files. If you want them fast, they need to be close to where you are. Filecoin and arweave are the anti-thesis of that. Second, filecoin and arweave can't run at the edge. This means they can't truly verify data on device, requiring additional systems or protocols to trust where the data came from. Third, they both require additional (expensive) consensus mechanisms. Files don't require their own consensus mechanisms. Filecoin and arweave will always be slow and expensive in comparison to IPFS. continued...

2/ IPFS can optimize where files are stored to ensure speed, IPFS can run on any device, and IPFS can use the blockchain it is attached to for any consensus. Finally, the beauty of IPFS is its CID system. It allows it to be as centralized or decentralized as you want it to be based on the requirements. Neither filecoin or arweave provide the flexibility that IPFS does. / end
